Already feeling a bit emotional after watching Capaldi’s stellar first episode and taking part in a lively QA session, the audience at Cardiff’s St David’s Hall could barely contain themselves when the last question was asked by an adorable wee boy, dressed up in an adorable wee suit as David Tennant’s Doctor.

“That sounds like one of my plots,” writer Steven Moffat chipped in, before Capaldi gave a thoughtful answer that’s sure to speak to Doctor Who fans, nerds and generally everybody, everywhere.
